Baptized and confirmed as a Christian in the Lutheran Church in Iceland, I was active in music and the youth ministry. But when I grew up I wandered away from God. Luckily, God didn’t give up on me. He kept proving he was with me.
One of those times involved my first husband, Andy. That’s right. Before I met my wonderful husband, David, I was married to another man. Andy was funny and charming. Eventually, he talked me into marrying him. I liked him, but I knew I didn’t love him. However, my self-esteem was so low I accepted his proposal anyway.
Soon after we married I realized Andy was deeply disturbed. We had been married for only a year when I told him I wanted a divorce. A few weeks later he committed suicide.
One day I asked God about all the bad things in my life. Why had they happened to me? He answered immediately and said, “Svava, you’re here for a very important reason.”
Today, I know the suffering I endured had nothing to do with God. He’s always been there, looking out for me. But why didn’t God rescue me?
He did! He helped me survive my abusive childhood. He helped me survive my dangerous marriage to Andy. He held my hand every step of the way as I healed from trauma and abuse. He even helped me find my wonderful husband, David. It’s true! Andy’s friends were the ones who introduced me to David. Amazing, huh?
Today, I’m a deeply spiritual person. I realize God has been there all along, working his perfect plan for my life. I want you to know he’s doing the same for you. You’re not alone, and you never have been. Pray to God about it. He always answers!
